Gamma Ray Counters to Monitor Radioactive Waste Packages in the MICADO Project [PDF]
One of the goals of the MICADO Euratom project is to monitor the gamma rays coming out of radioactive waste drums in storage sites on a medium/long term basis. For this purpose 36 low-cost gamma ray counters were designed and built to act as a demonstrator. These counters, named SciFi, are based on a scintillating fiber readout at each end by a silicon

DISPOSAL OF LOW AND INTERMEDIATE LEVEL WASTE IN HUNGARY
There are two operating facilities for management of low and intermediate level radioactive waste in Hungary. Experience with radioactive waste has a relatively long history and from its legacy some problems are to be solved, like the question of the ...

Tau‐targeting nanoparticles for treatment of Alzheimer's disease
Through review of comprehensive literature and research studies, it is found that tau‐targeting nanoparticles may posit beneficial applications to AD therapy. By targeting a key molecular mechanism known to propagate AD pathogenesis, tau‐targeting nanoparticles have the potential to facilitate tau tangle clearance, promote synaptic integrity, and ...

A projection-based model reduction method for nonlinear mechanics with internal variables: application to thermo-hydro-mechanical systems [PDF]
We propose a projection-based monolithic model order reduction (MOR) procedure for a class of problems in nonlinear mechanics with internal variables. The work is is motivated by applications to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) systems for radioactive waste disposal.

Using a High-Throughput Screening Algorithm and relativistic Density Functional Theory to Find Chelating Agents for Separation of Radioactive Waste [PDF]
Dangerous radioactive waste leftover from the Cold War era nuclear weapons production continues to contaminate sixteen sites around the United States. Although many challenges and obstacles exist in decontaminating these sites, two particularly difficult tasks associated with cleanup of this waste are extracting and separating actinide elements from ...

Hydraulic Conductivity of Geosynthetic Clay Liners to Low-Level Radioactive Waste Leachate
Hydraulic conductivity was evaluated for eight commercially available geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) permeated with leachate characteristic of low-level radioactive waste (LLW) disposal facilities operated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Thermal Conductivity of Korean Compacted Bentonite Buffer Materials for a Nuclear Waste Repository
Engineered barrier system (EBS) has been proposed for the disposal of high-level waste (HLW). An EBS is composed of a disposal canister with spent fuel, a buffer material, backfill material, and a near field rock mass.

Several new N,O‐ligands containing the 1,2,4‐triazine‐3‐carboxamide chelating group were synthesized and evaluated as actinide selective extracting agents for reprocessing spent nuclear fuels. The likely complexes formed with lanthanides were investigated by 1H NMR titrations and DFT calculations.
